It's called a 2 1/4 and they've been around for years. Take the film
back off, put the digi back on. Take the digiback off, put the film back
on. ;-)

Whoa, what a good idea! A minimalist approach... Think anyone would buy
it save ~1,000 M Leicaists?

Just an idea,
Why not build the digital camera body in a perfectly conventional form,
without all the bells buttons and blinking
lights, and give us a plug-in LCD as a viewer/pre-edit/storage unit and
whatever else doesn't really need to be on the camera
for the purpose of taking pictures. Once you've set up any special
exposure parameters unplug it and put it in your pocket.
- it could even double as a remote control, - stick it in the hot shoe
if you have to have it
on the camera for tripod work, macro etc.
If a manufacturer got around to this way of thinking we might even get
cheaper digi-bodies. All the high grade software
on a plug-in module for use on any number of cameras - even different
brands (no hope!), different LCD sizes, storage capacity, software
packages.All the camera needs is a finder, lens, a shutter,
sensor (possibly exchangeable for higher resolution) and a hard-disk.
This would be the start of a digital system camera !
